Stopping Sickness Bugs from Spreading Getting Back to Normal After a Bug The bug is often infectious to others so do not return to nursery, school or work until 48 hours after the last bout of sickness or diarrhoea

You do not need to keep your child off nursery or school because of this

\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost children will run, hop on one foot and be able to kick, throw and sometimes catch a ball by the time they start school

Your child’s emotional development continues to progress once they begin school

You could talk about TV programmes, the people you see out and about or things your child tells you have happened at nursery or school

You will also need to speak to your child's school so that they can support the use of the toy

They may be able to help with things such as cooking a meal, doing a school run, keeping you company at an appointment

Keep your child’s school updated with what is happening in the family

  You can work with your child or young person's school to discuss any concerns and support your child to regulate their senses and emotions safely
